Our story is set on a planet known as Shukaza. It is much like our own, except for one key difference in the evolutionary timeline - the people evolved from plants instead of animals. This means they are highly connected to the earth, which can have pros and cons. A pro is that each person is born with a unique power known as a Fact that can aid them in a variety of ways, such as super speed and mind reading. Not all facts are as useful as others though, like a stink bomb defense mechanism. However, a major con is that the weather reacts with the amount of stress in the area, no matter the source. Each region has its own type of natural disaster that occurs when a surge of distress is felt. For example, a kid dropping a treat could cause a fire, blizzard, tornado, earthquake, or hurricane.

The world is divided into five different regions, each representing a reproductive method in plants. They are: Angio, Gymno, Thallo, Bryo, and Pterido. Every region plays a very important role in society, each having their own exports, cultures, responsibilities, and climates. Once one is deemed ready, they choose a job that best suits their interests and personality within their region. If someone falls behind on their job and creates stress, any kind of disaster could suddenly whip up. This innate fear and awe of the world is what drives the people to take good care of the planet, and keep society on the right track.

However, while those in the light remain delightfully unbothered, an evil begins to brew in the shadows. A mysterious Rot begins infecting the people of Shukaza, turning them uncharacteristically manipulative and menacing. If it continues to develop the Rot will spread to the brain and fully consume the Rotten one, turning them highly violent before taking their life. This is an unprecedented threat in Shukaza, as this level of malintent has never been seen before. The only known method of getting rid of it is to banish the Rotten one to the desert where no one can survive. Thus, an order is put out to report any Rotten one to the Council to be dealt with accordingly. Other than that, the Rot is largely a mystery to the world.

Meet Eren the Lichen. Between their spunky nature, fierce loyalty and hot head, they are the full package! Their Fact is changing color with their emotions, which makes hiding their short temper essentially impossible. Since their outbursts can isolate them at times, they spend their free time hammering away at eccentric machines. Their fuse may be short, but once you find a spot in their heart, you will have a lifelong friend that would go to the ends of the world and back for you. More than anything Eren wants to help people, and though the execution isn't always perfect, Eren never gives up on someone in need. Fun Fact: Eren made a handshake machine that malfunctioned, so now they can't turn it off for fear of being body slammed.

Here is Eren's younger sister and best friend Raini, who has the same Fact as Eren. When the squad are on a mission everyone seems to already know and love her, and she never fails to cheer someone up with her wackiness. If you manage to make her dislike you, it would be in your best interest to escape immediately. Her wrath is unparalleled when it comes to revenge, but only if you truly deserve it. All these qualities make her one of Thallo's many treasures! Fun Fact: Raini often daydreams about being a stitchmaker in Pterido and has made a plethora of her own clothes.

This guy is Stemon, the slime mold. Seeing as none of the other members are equipped to take control of a situation rationally, he assumes the role of leader in the group. He also has the Fact of super speed when he eats food, making him quick to the scene of crisis. He is determined to do his job correctly and safely, and sometimes sticking to the rules can make him come across as a bit of a jerk. He doesn't really care, since he knows at the end of the day keeping everyone safe is more important than the team's desire to goof off. Fun Fact: Stemon has an embarrassing side effect of his Fact which is that a foul stench emits from his body when he feels threatened or is injured.

Up next is Physa, another slime mold. He has an unwavering apathy that can range from being useful to straight up obnoxious, and yet he still has the audacity to look down on the other team members. He doesn't seem to have much passion for the things one might consider "fun" or "interesting", but witnesses report they've caught glimpses of him monologuing to himself in the mirror at home. His Fact of mind reading comes in handy in solving disputes between people like meatheads, but his sassy nature often gets in the way of being the hero. Fun Fact: Physa has held the local staring contest trophy for five consecutive years.

Last and certainly least, we have Aman. He's got the instincts of a deer and the build of dry spaghetti, but he is a very valuable addition to the team. He uses his adorably helpless face to subdue and puppet others, often being used as a last ditch effort since it greatly drains him. Being the newest member of the squad and having absolutely no muscle mass, Eren cares a lot about protecting him from the chaos of the world they live in. Fun Fact: Aman once got so scared of his own shadow that he peed himself and cried.
